On the 5th at Tokyo Dome in Japan, the World Baseball Classic (WBC) group stage Group C game between Korea and the Czech Republic was held.
Korea started So Hyeong-jun, and the Czech Republic started Danielle Padysak.
Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and was the runner-up in 2009, failed to advance to the quarterfinal knockout stage in all three subsequent tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it aims to reach the final round knockout stage for the first time in 17 years.
With two outs in the bottom of the eighth, Korea's Jemai Jones hit a solo home run to left and is celebrating in the dugout. Mar. 5, 2026
